How to ensure my windows & applications are on the moment I start my mbp?

Besides setting my mbp to sleep, how can I ensure that whatever my opened applications and windows are the same when I turn on my mbp? Or setting to sleep is the only method?
Thanks!

I never turn my MBP off, just use sleep. Well I do turn it off when I travel but you know what I mean
With using the sleep option, the computer starts up much faster and you have your apps just as you left them.

How can I find which applications are using the most power?

I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2. Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds. This only happened recently. It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before. I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync. The problems seemed to occur after this update. I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home. Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
Thanks.
Dave

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden. I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me). Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

HELP!!! Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) How do I get this to stop?

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank You

This was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

How do i see what applications are running in the background

My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

Why does 'You can't open the application "setup.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' pop up whenever i try to download the latest flash player?

whever i try to access websites, most of them work but facebook, youtube, my school email, sometimes even google, and alot other websites wont work for me and will tell me i need to update the lastest Flash Player. but when i try to download it, it says 'You can’t open the application “setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' what does that even mean?? This happens on safari, google chrome and i downloaded firefox and it worked for a couple of hours and then stopped working again.
please help, thanks in advance.

1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe site.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first. Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.

    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. help

Im trying to watch a DVD for a health and safety test i need to do and I'm getting "You can’t open the application “RunMe.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
Im not very good with computers so any help greatly appreciated

You chose a Windows program, what else can you do.
If you had a Windows machine and the DVD required a Mac you wouldn't be able to run it at all (Winboxes can't run OSX) so at least the Mac gives you the option.

You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system. Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows. It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
Open it on a Windows PC
Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too. I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
Hope this helps.

That's because you must be trying to download a Windows application, and they do not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on the Mac.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How do you add an application event to the Applications Panel

How do you add an application event to the Applications Panel.
My previous post referred to .ashx files, and the problem seems that Firefox, by default, does not recognize a .ashx format being read by Adobe Acrobat.
Therefore there needs to be a way to add Applications and Events into the Applications Panel under Preferences

Gotcha... But actually its limited to 9 icons in the L theme as the Profiles icon is always present. From that screen hit the Menu key to display the bigger list of icons. Arange them so the first 9 icons are the ones you want to see on the L theme.

How can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition?

how can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition? white unibody late 2009. i cannot seem to find bootcamp either :/

Open the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and use it to restore the drive to a single partition setup. If it's not there, use Pacifist to extract it from your install DVD and run the combo updater for your OS version.

And this AskTom blog shows you how to generate a script containing ALTER statements toresize your datafiles to the smallest possible. You can 'pick and choose' from the ALTER statements to do what you want.
Then of course, you can use techniques from this article by Oracle ACE, and noted author, Jonathan Lewis
